Product Launch

Stockholm – October 16, 2026 -- Saab has presented the first of three GlobalEye airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft ordered for the Swedish Air Force by the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV).

Aircraft enters testing and verification ahead of first flight

The aircraft now moves into a testing and verification phase. First flight and delivery to the customer follow. The source gives no dates for either milestone.

Sweden has ordered three GlobalEye aircraft across two contracts

FMV contracted the first two aircraft in 2022, with an option for additional aircraft. A third GlobalEye was ordered in 2024. The option has not been exercised beyond that third order, according to the information provided.

Shanghai – October 16, 2026 -- RoboParty has launched RP1 (ROBOTO 01), a humanoid robot with open access to its hardware designs, low-level drivers, control algorithms and software stack, aimed at embodied AI research. The standard version stands about 1.3 meters tall with 24 actuated degrees of freedom (DoF), while the Pro version offers 30.

RP1 opens actuator designs, firmware and control code to researchers

RoboParty is publishing the robot body design and technical resources for its in-house ROMOMO joint actuator modules, along with technical documentation and research materials. The company says the release covers mechanical structures, actuators, motion control, simulation environments, software development kits (SDKs) and training tools.

New York – October 15, 2026 -- Mindbeam raised the Level 2 KernelBench score of NVIDIA's Nemotron 3.5 Super VL from 22.8% to 82.1% through post-training, ahead of the 57% accuracy the company reports for GPT 5.6 Sol.

The New York-based AI infrastructure company announced a collaboration with NVIDIA covering two layers of the open source AI stack: a post-trained model that writes CUDA kernels, and an inference engine that serves NVIDIA's latest open models.

Litespark Nemotron 3.5 Super VL gains 11.2 points on Level 1 tasks

Mindbeam post-trained NVIDIA's Nemotron 3.5 Super VL (120B-A12B) to produce Litespark Nemotron 3.5 Super VL, an open-weights model for CUDA code generation. The task is to take a PyTorch module and generate a raw CUDA kernel that reproduces the forward pass within tight numerical tolerances while staying architecture-agnostic.

San Francisco – October 15, 2026 -- Benchling launched Science Foundries, a product that lets R&D teams run entire scientific processes with agents and scientists working from the same data, and made it available to its customers the same day.

Teams select a process or goal, such as producing proteins, optimizing a lead or improving a manufacturing process. They then define which steps agents run and where scientists must approve. Agents execute and monitor work, coordinate handoffs and flag key decisions to scientists.

Benchling has spent the past 18 months building AI into its platform. The company says agents are the fastest-growing capability it has released. Science Foundries extend agents from individual tasks to complete workflows.

New York – – October 15, 2026 -- Catalyst Power Holdings LLC has launched Catalyst Power for Senior Living & Care, an energy service that finances, builds and operates onsite cogeneration for care communities with no upfront investment from operators.

Service targets five senior care facility types with combined heat and power

The offering covers independent living, assisted living, memory care, life plan communities and skilled nursing facility operators. It is anchored by Combined Heat and Power (CHP), which Catalyst Power says best matches the continuous heating, hot water and power demand of care communities. Solar and energy storage are available where a site and its load profile support them.

CEO Gabriel Phillips said these buildings run domestic hot water, laundry, heating and cooling around the clock, year-round, and often must hold ambient temperatures within strict ranges. He called that load profile "perfect for CHP."

Spokane – October 15, 2026 -- AV Access has launched the 8KEX100-KVM, an HDMI 2.1 KVM extender that carries 8K@60Hz and 4K@120Hz video plus USB signals up to 100m (328ft) over a single Cat 6/6A/7 cable.

The product is now available to professional users and system integrators. It supports HDMI 2.1 and HDCP 2.3.

Single-cable design with Power over Cable cuts installation complexity

The extender runs on one Cat cable and supports Power over Cable (PoC), which AV Access says reduces cable complexity. Further features include USB 2.0 connectivity, RS-232 passthrough and EDID management for professional AV deployments.

Parsippany – October 15, 2026 -- OLI has launched TrueCORR, a corrosion intelligence solution that feeds live plant data into first-principles chemistry models to identify changing corrosion risk before it becomes an asset integrity concern. Initial applications target refining and upstream oil and gas production.

TrueCORR continuously interprets process conditions using OLI's thermodynamic and corrosion models. Engineers can see how the corrosive environment changes while an asset is operating. The software adds context beyond alarms and individual monitoring points, helping teams determine whether a process change is affecting corrosion and what is causing it.

Irvine, Calif. – October 15, 2026 -- Getac Technology Corporation will present an end-to-end public safety lineup at booth 1501 at the IACP Annual Conference & Exposition in Orlando, Florida, Oct. 24–27, led by a new release of its Getac Video Suite evidence management platform and Copilot+ PC rugged devices.

Video Suite adds modules for officer review, mobile evidence capture and plate recognition

The latest Video Suite release extends the platform beyond video collection and management. Officer Review is a configurable quality-improvement tool that uses randomized data tailored to an agency's policies and objectives. The Evidence OnSite Mobile App lets officers capture and classify video and photos on department-issued phones and give community members a QR code to submit evidence.

Green Bay – October 15, 2026 -- RC Mowers will unveil a new autonomous commercial mower platform and an all-season accessory lineup for its remote-controlled slope mowers at Equip Expo Booth No. 7056 in Louisville, Kentucky, on Oct. 20-23.

Dealers and media get first look on Oct. 21 from 9 a.m. to noon

The Wisconsin-based manufacturer will show the products during the Indoor Trade Show Dealer & Media Preview on Wednesday, Oct. 21. The solutions open to all Equip attendees at noon the same day.

Accessory lineup takes R-Series slope mowers beyond mowing for the first time

The company plans to expand the capabilities of its R-Series remote-controlled slope mowers. Contractors could use them to offer additional services, generate new revenue and keep equipment working through more of the year.

Singapore – October 15, 2026 -- YYForce Inc. (NASDAQ: YFOR) has commercially launched Yolara AI, a workforce intelligence platform that it is rolling out through an existing regional network of more than 100,000 verified frontline workers and over 500 enterprise partner locations.

Those figures describe YYForce's existing network, not the number of active Yolara AI users or locations at launch, the company said.

Core platform is live in Singapore on web and mobile

The platform combines algorithmic matching, automated staffing workflows, digital attendance and operational analytics. It targets hospitality, food and beverage, retail, logistics, events and facilities management.

YYForce says it aims to cut repetitive administration and improve coordination between businesses and workers. It cautions that actual staffing outcomes depend on worker availability, qualification requirements and operating conditions.
